How do I kick someone off my wireless network ?

[Darkst4r]

I'm having some trouble with a housemate not contributing to my broadband bill and want to kick him off the nework until he pays.

My PC is wired to the superhub and he connects wirelessly.

I cant remember my routers password to do it via those settings so is there a program I could use to do it instead ?

Thanks in advance !

Just reset your Router & put a different password in, JD.

+1 unless you know the router password (depending on the router, its probably 1234, 5555 or password)

Just reset it

make sure you know the adsl username / password before you start!

Seeing as its a superhub (from Virgin) I don't think that'll be a problem

Just google for the default user name and password for the superhub config.

Either change the wifi key and tell everyone but said housemate or see if it can do MAC filtering either as a white list or a black list but if he is slightly tech savvy then he might be able to bypass this

Awesome, thanks a lot guys it's all done. I cant wait to see the WOW withdrawal rage when he gets in. I may video it and upload the results here !

Just make sure he hasn't got physical access or he may try to get his own back.

I was going to suggest wrapping the router in tin foil... =]

Reminds me of when i use to have my router under the floors boards in my bedroom.......

Filter the MAC addresses.
You can do it easily on a superhub.

As someone said previously, either set up WEP WPA etc, or mac ban him from the router.

Please do.
It amazes me though how an adult can think it is OK to use things in a shared house/flat whilst feeling it is fine not to pay towards it. I bet you the 'but you would be paying for the internet anyway so I may as well use it' approach is taken by him*.

*I used the word him because there are no women on WOW, only 40 year old perverts who say they are women.

My misses was seriously addicted to WoW for quite a while! I've never seen the appeal to be honest.

I know a few uni girls who are also addicted to wow

The default password can be found on the bottom of the superhub, i think its

username: admin
password: 1234

Telnet in, disable WLAN. Done.

Haven't heard from the OP.. I guess he lost it and killed him
